Each installation should also be planned to allow easy access for inspection, maintenance, and exchange of units. The installation of avionics equipment is partially mechanical, involving sheet metal work to mount units, racks, antennas, and controls. Routing of the interconnecting ... electronics case or rack and a nearby structural member of the aircraft. [Figure 11-157] Avionics radio equipment must be securely mounted to the aircraft. All mounting bolts must be secured by locking devices to prevent loosening from vibration. Adequate…

Group a. Radio and electronic equipment—for proper installation and secure mounting. b. Wiring and conduits—for proper routing, secure mounting, and obvious defects. c. Bonding and shielding—for proper installation and condition. d. Antennas—for condition, secure mounting ... Emergency and first aid equipment—for general condition and proper stowage. Parachutes, life rafts, flares, and so forth— inspect in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. c. Autopilot system—for general condition, security of attachment, and proper operation…
- Chapter 11: Communication & Navigation › Reducing Radio Interference › Static Discharge Wicks
wicks, are installed on aircraft to reduce radio receiver interference. This interference is caused by corona discharge emitted from the aircraft as a result of precipitation static. Corona occurs in short pulses which produce noise at the radio frequency spectrum ... metal screws, rivets, or epoxy. The connections should be checked periodically for security. A resistance measurement from the mount to the airframe should not exceed 0.1 ohm. Inspect the condition of all static dischargers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions…
